VINASAT-2 is owned by the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group. It weighed 2,969 kilograms (6,546 pounds) at launch and carries 24 Ku-band transponders. Vinasat-2 will operate from 131.8 degrees east, next door to the Vinasat-1 spacecraft launched in April 2008. Vinasat-1 filled its capacity of 12 Ku- and eight C-band transponders more quickly than expected, causing the Vietnamese government to order a follow-on spacecraft.
